Post [solved] Randomizing Polls On Front Page 
 
With IP 104414 I had no problem randomizing the polls as they appear on the front page of CMS.
In fact, it happened automatically!

However, with 11015, I couldn't get the poll to appear in the block on the front/CMS.....

Until I read this helpful topic here:
http://www.icyphoenix.com/viewtopic.php?t=1526

I got the poll to appear. From this point, how can I get it to randomize? The radio button is checked in the poll block options.....

Thanks in advance.

Ok. Thanks.

I liked the RC3 version for polls. I used that version until I upgraded. The 2 polls I had on there did 2 things automatically:

1. I didn't need to put the forum id in, the pole went straight to the front page.
2. After I clicked to randomize; it did so every time.

Thanks

He's done the job -> from CMS -> Random Or Newest Poll? -> choose if you want to show latest or random...

Zuker,

I don't think you made mistake either. It's just that with the new release Icy, I don't get that feature to work, even though I select randomize.

Maybe I can revert back to RC3 on the randomize function with a new update/changefile?

And it worked with RC3.

Thanks for your research, Zuker, Jz

All I can say, is you do EXACTLY like Zuker says;

Create a forum called Polls. (or whatever, but put all your polls in there).
Then when you have 2 or more of course in that catagory, hover over that forum and see what the forum id is.

Then put the id in the block edit data, then PRESTO!

If you choose the "random" radio button, then the main page poll block will show one after another!!!!!!!!

Thanks, I just found the best way, the Zuker way!
